There are a number of different books available , when i started in chooks a few years back i was given this book 'Backyard Poultry - Naturally' by Alanna MooreIts an Australian based book , i found it very helpful and practical , with different chook and duck breeds mentioned and a good number of colour photos

I am pretty new to the chicken game too. I bought a book called "Chook Book" by Jackie French. It is also an Australian book and mine cost $21.95 from Collins books. I am not sure what experienced people think of the book but it has answered a few of my questions.

Hi Pilbara, I have vol 1 and 2 of australian edition "How to care for your poultry" by lifestyle block, by far one of the most comprehensive and up to date publications available. I dont need them and would be happy to send them to you if you could cover postage. Pm me if your interested

Pilbarachook I've bought quite a few chook books over time and I haven't found any of them as useful as a good forum. Storey's Guides are good but they are aimed towards those whose aim is maximum eggs for minimum outlay and there are as many different reasons to keep chooks as there are chook keepers. Jackie French's chook book is more about chooks as pets which give you eggs and compost as a side benefit.
